I have my Razer Lachesis, and I love it so so much. I have bought a little netbook to take to uni, and I cannot stand using the little nipple or the track pad. I was considering buying another Lachesis for the laptop, but I thought Id come here and ask.

I do not care about features for this mouse, it will be for pointing and clicking and thats about it. Its all in the shape for this mouse. I want something that has the same "feel" as the Lachesis; same weight, size, dimensions, ergonomics etc. The reason is my hand has started to hurt a lot lately when I use different mice; it might be a problem, I should get looked at, but for now its ok.

What do you guys think? Is there anything else out there that has the same exterior? Or would I be better off with a second Lachesis?

I would like to clarify that I am indeed trolling in this particular thread.

-if you want something that feels like a Razer, the only real option is another Razer. If you're lucky you can find a store that sells them and check out if any of them have the feel you're after, but otherwise there are Razer laptop mice you could look into.

Yea Razer mice tend to have a very unique feel in that they are very ergonomic, without looking like they have massive grooves or fins all over to guide your fingers. I can't stand using my friend's logitech's because they always have some strange grooving or something that wraps around your fingers. Whereas the Razer mice use very subtle flows in the shape to make if fit your hand. The Lachesis as you will notice has concave buttons that are deeper on the center than the edges and then the main body rises up in the center before angling away to the back.

Being ambidextrous its perfectly symetrical, but my Mamba also has another dimension. Because its right handed the peak of the body is slightly off center and there is a very gradual slope over to the right that fits your hand very comfortably.

Here is an example picture:

Compare that to this:

I think the only way you will get something that feels like another Lachesis is to get another Lachesis. Otherwise one of the other ambidextrous razer mice offerings will be the next closest. Maybe a Diamondback 3g or something. Its only a tad smaller than a Lachesis.

With respect to performing mice (in gaming at least) - I've yet to see a decent brand that can compete with Razer. I tried those roccat stuff and it's just plain awful. Ergonomic wise it's decent but performance is as bad as the early lachesis (which from experience is decent at first but it screws up over time)

Suprised there isn't much reviews for steelseries in the forums always has been razer.

i replaced my deathadder with a salmosa, then replaced my salmosa with a steelseries kinzu.I like the kinzu > salmosa because of the rubber being on the sides as well as top. The kinzu also feels closer to the mousepad with a different center of gravity too. I think that the actual height of the mouse is the same though..

I also like the way it looks aesthetically, esp next to my 6gv2 that i got to replace my filco.

DAM! How have I never seen that Steelseries keyboard? It looks really nice. I'm starting to really dig that simplistic style in keyboards again. Even the basic $20 pos keyboards from Logitech are getting all curved and whatnot. I like the minimal edging around that one. And being mechanical is another plus too.

I may have to look into investing in one soon. I was looking at the Deck Legend before but that one looks nicer.

I originally had a filco tenkeyless with blues, but decided to go with the blacks.The one depicted is the 6gv2, i got it for 60$ used.Esp since its mechanical, there should be very minimal difference between something a few months old and one brand new.

This is exactly what has been going on through the entire thread, and it's not the first time either.You come to us for advice..you just spell out what you want to get, and then ask us if it is okay, and we have to explain why it isn't. That's the world upside down.. If you would just say 'hey guys, I have an X amount of money, what should I buy?' Then this would be over in 2-3 posts, not 2-3 pages.

Every time someone goes against Weiman's sig I feel like they should be bludgeoned for a few minutes in the head to feel the headache I feel when I realize someone really IS that dense.
